Properties and Usage of Sea Kelp Extract
Question
Could you please provide information on Sea Kelp Extract, including its properties, recommended usage concentration in formulations (such as gels, serums, lotions, creams), and whether it can be applied directly to the face? If applied directly, are there any potential issues like residue or pilling? Also, is it suitable for use as a hair mask?
Answer
Sea Kelp Extract is a liquid gel extract with excellent moisturizing and nourishing properties for both skin and hair, making hair soft, shiny, and thicker.
Regarding direct application to the face: According to the product information, this extract is designed to be used as an ingredient in various formulations (such as gels, serums, lotions, creams) at a concentration of 1-10%. Based on user feedback and experiences, it can be applied directly, but due to its concentrated gel texture, it may leave a residue or pill when dry, making it less suitable as a regular moisturizing cream. However, some users have found it moisturizing when applied directly and it is also popularly used as a hair mask.
